It is not about pohmelfs, but any other. When did you look at fs/kconfig
last time? There are lots of filesystems which were obsoleted way before
I first time started using computer. Hope you saw with pdp-11 in action
(I only on pictures), since sysv filesystem is very unlikely to get new
users today. Or befs - beos is very widely distributed os. Others?

And Linus was wrong. This can not happen? He can not change his opinion?
Btw, which distro shipped ext4 before it was included (splitted) into
mainline?

Just say no to double standards!

P.S. Added Linus to copy list, hope it will be interesting...
